Chapter 81 I Accept the Marriage
The roses in the courtyard are blooming beautifully, but no one has the heart to appreciate them.
The housekeeper led her in, his expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
He walked to the door, lowered his voice, and told her, "Miss Mingxi is upstairs. Just go upstairs when you come in."
"Yeah." Mu Jia expressed his understanding.
When Song's father saw her coming, he had suppressed his anger and was drinking tea with Song's mother in the hall.
Everything seemed calm and nothing happened.
Mu Jia held onto the mahogany handrail and quickly went upstairs. At the corner of the stairs, he ran into Song Mingxi who was slowly walking down the handrail.
She no longer had her usual delicate makeup, and the corners of her eyes were still red. Her skirt was wrinkled, as if she had just gotten out of bed and had just experienced an argument and had no time to care about anything else.
"Mingxi" Mu Jia walked up quickly, held her cold hand, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Song Mingxi's lips trembled a few times, and he suddenly threw himself into Mu Jia's arms.
She was trembling all over, her voice breaking: "So He Chen... is Guan Yingxin's cousin."
With a "bang", something in my mind scattered like fireworks.
Mu Jia suddenly remembered that meal.
While she, Song Mingxi, and He Chen were having dinner together, they happened to talk about Guan Yingxin's recent scandal.
He Chen, who had been graceful throughout the meal, suddenly raised his head.
At that time, she was very surprised that a male college student like him would be so sensitive to the name of a female star.
At that time, she thought that Kwan Ying-xin was a goddess among otakus, and he probably paid attention to her.
…
Mu Jia only felt a deep sense of guilt and heartache. If only she had expressed her feelings at that time, or just asked a question.
"Now then..."
She looked at Song Mingxi, who was crying miserably, then turned to look downstairs and took her hand, "Go upstairs first."
The two sat down in the bedroom.
"In the past two months..." Song Mingxi choked up and said, "He accompanied me to art exhibitions, made handicrafts, and even..." She clutched Mu Jia's sleeve, "Even when I casually said I wanted to eat that dessert from the south city, he would go out of his way to buy it after get off work... It turns out it was all fake... I was wondering, how could someone be so lucky when they were heartbroken, to meet their soulmate while shopping... I thought I was the heroine of a novel..." As she spoke, Song Mingxi raised her face and laughed at herself, "Jia Jia, am I really not very smart?"
Mu Jia was silent.
At this age, who doesn’t fantasize about a romantic love?
After Song Mingxi finished crying, she suddenly stood up, walked to the closet, and picked up a white lace dress. "Jia Jia, how do you think I look in this dress?"
Her eyes were already swollen from crying, her hair was untied, and her whole body looked like it had been soaked in tears. She was now wearing a white dress.
From this picture, Mu Jia read a sense of madness from the concubine in the cold palace who spoke calmly. She said worriedly, "Mingxi..."
"Jia Jia, you should get ready too. Come with me to a place later."
"Where are you going?"
The night is as dark as ink.
There was a whole row of luxury cars parked in the big square in front of the club, with parking attendants wearing ties waiting nearby. From time to time, guests could be seen coming out of the club with beautiful women in their arms, living a life of luxury.
After changing clothes and putting on makeup, Song Mingxi, who had regained her glamorous appearance, pulled Mu Jia.
She looked straight ahead and followed the floor number on her phone, took the elevator to the designated box, and then took Mu Jia to each room one by one.
Until a familiar voice came from inside a door.
Mu Jia paused, and before he could react, Song Mingxi reached out and pushed open the door of the box.
"Chi Zhao!"
"Song Mingxi?" The young man sitting upright on the sofa raised his head, frowned, and looked towards them with stern eyes.
It was obvious that he was a little surprised by her sudden arrival.
However, this surprise was only fleeting. The man quickly regained his composure, opened his lips, and asked in a low voice: "What are you doing here?"
Song Mingxi said nothing, lowered his head, grabbed the champagne glass on the table, and poured it at Chi Zhao. The orange wine slid in a short arc in the air and hit the person's cheek.
Suddenly, the young man's noble face, neck, and the front of his clothes were covered with liquid, revealing a grim and miserable look.
"Despicable and shameless!" Song Mingxi's voice finally became trembling with tears.
But she still tilted her neck stubbornly.
Zhou Xu was surprised, "This..."
He stood up, looked here and there, and chose to ask the culprit first, "Song Mingxi, what happened?"
Song Mingxi turned her head and pointed her radiant red lips at Zhou Xu, "Why don't you ask your good friend..."
He turned his head and looked at Chi Zhao, "If you want to cancel the engagement, just say so. Let Guan Yingxin's cousin seduce me...Are you a man?"
Zhou Xu suddenly realized something, was puzzled for a while, then suddenly turned around, his eyes wide open in disbelief.
"Achi..."
Chi Zhao had a blank expression on his face, and the champagne had left a dark mark on his custom-made suit.
He looked in a terrible state, but he didn't even frown, showing the demeanor of an upper-class person.
Zhou Xu was about to curse in his heart, "You are not a human being."
Song Mingxi stood there, breathing rapidly.
The white dress she wore today was dazzling, but this confrontation made her the one at a disadvantage - this was her most inappropriate behavior in more than 20 years.
All her embarrassing moments were closely related to Chi Zhao.
Realizing how stupid she was and that the person in front of her had no guilt at all, she turned around and silently pulled Mu Jia up, "Let's go back."
Mu Jia followed her obediently, letting her know that no matter what she did, there would be someone to accompany her.
Zhou Xu chased out.
I went to the roadside where neon lights were flashing and outside the club was a busy street. There happened to be an AI experience store.
A promotional video for the launch of He Chen's project was playing on a loop on the huge electronic screen. He was dressed in a suit and tie and was saying something.
Song Mingxi felt like a fool.
Zhou Xu looked up at the electronic screen and called out to Song Mingxi and Mu Jia, "Do you want me to take you back?"
Song Mingxi was silent.
Mu Jia shook her head on her behalf and said, "I drove here."
Zhou Xu stopped and was silent for a moment before saying to them, "I'm sorry."
This sentence should be said on behalf of my brother.
"Let's go." Song Mingxi grabbed Mu Jia's wrist and turned around first. Mu Jia turned around and followed her silently as they walked towards the car.
Song Mingxi leaned against the passenger window, his father's question emerging in his mind:
"Where's your boyfriend, whose family background is as good as Chi Zhao's? If you can't bring him back, then accept the arranged marriage... I can't let anyone say that the daughter of the Song family can't get married."
After enjoying the night breeze for a while, Song Mingxi turned on his mobile phone, lost in thought for a while, found a name, and typed a line of words.
[Dad, I've thought it through. I accept the marriage.]
